Hi Erwin,
What have you tried?
What have you selected?

This might not be the answer you expected, my aim is to encourage (you) an editor to explore, rather than serve up answers.

If others want to chip in, I don't mind.

This is indeed not the answer I expected. I have tried many options (see below). It was my understanding that a forum like this, is to exchange knowledge about a product, so it is free to ask and it is free (not) to answer.

But to be more specific I tried the following (beside reading some tutorials and reading the help file):

1) I tried the standard Youtube export, HD quality 1280x720, but the result was very low res (blockes). Here are no properties that you can change

2) When converting first to file (what I prefer anyway), I have tried the following options: MPEG2, HDV, 720p, NTSC (I have 29 frames per second). The files became huge (about 4 times as big as the orginal), with not a very high quality. Iused the standard options

3) I also tried the H.264 codec with the same result as (2

4) WMV files does not give me a quality result either. I cannot recall which options I used.

5) MOV does not have the 1280x720 option

Erwin -

Did you try the Search button at the top? It's a good way to find what others have said about your question already.

Robert made a comment about this at http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/8226.page though his experience with WMV was different to yours.

Cheers - Tony

I did first try the search, but I must have overlooked this one. I did not find any result of youtube in combination with HD quality.

However, many thanks for your patience and helpfull links. I will examine them carefully.

Erwin

I just added additional Youtube WMV profiles with a higher bitrate (3500K and 6000K) resulting in substantial quality enhancement over the 1800K default profile.

Maybe this might be your solution. The link that Dafydd provided regarding wmv template creation is of valuable assistance.

Good Luck and happy editing!
